Double-line blade

Barry King makes bead blades, as well as Robert Beard.

They are out there, you just have to find em. I have one of Barry's and it's 1/8" blade. Ask for the smaller shaft so it will fit in a tandy knife though.

Thank you! I'm going to check them out.

OK, now off to the accountant (my wife!) and let her know I'm going to spend some $$$!

I've toyed with the idea of purchasing a beader blade from time to time, but I always end up holding off. When I stop and think about it, a beader blade is designed to emulate a hand beader. The curve between the two blades is designed to produce the same rounded effect produced by the hand beader, however, I think hand beaders do a better job because you can actually burnish the bead, with a hand beader. That is difficult to do with a blade. If one is trying simply to cut two parallel lines, it's pretty easy to do by cutting one line, using a pair of dividers to mark the second line and then make the second cut. Good beader blades are expensive....I think I would rather have another size hand beader! Just a rambling thought from a different perspective....

I've been doing the "double-lines" for awhile now but I seem to make a screw up here and there that I thought a double-line blade would eliminate. The thing with the blade I purchased is it's very narrow, less than 1/8".

I looked at the Beard tools; he has 3 different sizes for $60 each.

I talked to the accountant. She said to save my allowance!
